Dirty Business: How Mining Made Australia is the history of Australian mining. It portrays how over the last 150 years mining has made Australia rich, yet created an unending struggle over who shares in the wealth. It reveals how mining helped forge democracy yet has repeatedly plotted to influence politics and even overthrow democratically elected leaders. Whilst mining has also been deeply damaging to Aboriginal society, ironically in the 21st century, it may be aboriginal people's best hope of economic self-determination.

The Fimiston Open Pit, colloquially known as the Super Pit, is Australia's largest open cut gold mine.
The Super Pit is located off the Goldfields Highway on the south-east edge of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
The pit is oblong in shape and is approximately 3.5 kilometres long,
1.5 kilometres wide and 570 metres deep. At these dimensions, it is large enough to be seen from space.
The Super Pit is owned by Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd, a company owned 50/50 by Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Mining Corporation.
The mine produces 850,000 ounces (28 tonnes) of gold per year, and employs around 550 employees directly on site.

Underground miners in outback Western Australia have unearthed rare gold specimens which geologists are calling a "once-in-a-lifetime discovery".
Workers at the Beta Hunt mine near the small town of Kambalda, 630 kilometres east of Perth, have brought more than $15 million worth of gold specimens to the surface in just four days.
The gold-encrusted rocks were found about 500 metres below the surface in an area just three metres wide and three metres high.

A miner has unearthed the biggest gold nugget in history, leading him to secure 40 stone (250kg) of the precious metal in a £10million find.
Henry Dole made the huge discovery at the Beta Hunt mine near Kambalda in western Australia.
He first found a nugget weighing 14 stone (90kg), 10 of which was estimated to be made of the precious metal. Worth about £2million, it took three men to lift the piece.
It beats the country's Welcome Stranger nugget, which was previously though to be the biggest ever discovered with a weight of just under 12.3 stone (78kg).
Airleg driller Mr Dole then came across a second nugget that weighed about 9.4 stone (60kg)with an estimated worth of £1.5million before uncovering even more.
The miner - who has more than 16 years' experience - said he has seen 'nothing like this' in his entire career.
'As I was drilling it, you could see the gold shavings coming out of all the holes and I thought "there’s something here",' he said.
'And then after we fired it and I came in the next day and washed it all down, it was just everywhere.'
He unearthed the 'unbelievable' haul while working about 500 metres underground for RNC Minerals.
The firm's chief executive, Mark Selby, said that finding such huge nuggets was a 'once-in-a-lifetime' moment.
Mr. Selby says the discovery shows that Beta Hunt could turn out to be 'a very large gold mine'.
Senior geologist Zaf Thanos said of the huge find: 'You might go your whole life and you'll never see anything like it.'
Armed guards will be deployed to transport the nuggets to a vault and security has increased at the mine.

This image is what all prospectors hope for - but for most this is just a dream. Some fortunate few prospectors do strike lucky and our video shows some nice large nuggets being found..
Matt is a professional gold prospector with over 35 years experience in Western Australia. In this short video he describes his recent experience of using the Garrett ATX and shows you some of the large gold nuggets he has found in the period of just a few days in 2014.
The nugget in the thumbnail is a cast of the 'Golden Eagle' nugget which was discovered at Larkinville, WA in 1931 and weighed 1135oz. With modern prospecting methods it's only a matter of time before another similar or even larger nugget is found.

The Top 10 Biggest Gold Mine In The World's
10. Kalgoorlie Super Pit
Production: 640,000 ounces
Rounding out the list of largest gold mines in the world is the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, which is 50 percent owned by Barrick and is also located in Australia. Kalgoorie’s production dropped slightly from 2014’s 652,000 ounces produced by 1.84 percent.
9. Olimpiada
Production: 760,100 ounces
Located in Russia, Olimpiada is an open-pit operation owned by United Kingdom-based Polyus Gold (LSE:POLG). Olimpiada began production in 1966, and is the company’s largest gold operation. It holds proven and probable gold reserves of 30.01 million ounces. While production jumped from 735,700 ounces in 2015 to 760,100 in 2015, the mine dropped from seventh place to ninth in the list.
8. Boddington
Production: 794,000 ounces
Production at Boddington jumped in 2015 by 14.08 percent from 696,000 ounces to 794,000 ounces of gold produced. Boddington gold-copper mine is one of the largest gold mines in Australia. It is owned by Newmont Mining, which bought out AngloGold Ashanti’s (NYSE:AU) share of the project in 2009. Boddington began commercial production in 2009.
7. Lihir
Production 805,000 ounces
Lihir is another gold mine owned by Newcrest. This particular gold mine wasn’t on the 2014 top 10 list. Since 1997, Lihir has produced over nine million ounces of gold.
6. Carlin
production: 886,000 ounces
Carlin is part of a much larger Nevada gold operation owned by Newmont Mining. However, the company now reports production from Carlin individually. Last year’s production dropped by 2.32 percent from 907,000 ounces in 2014 to 886,000 in 2015.
5. Yanacocha
Production: 918,000 ounces
Yanacocha is South America’s largest gold mine located in Cajamarca, approximately 800 kilometers northeast of Lima, Peru. Since 1993, it has invested more than $1 billion in environmental and social responsibility projects. Yanacocha is jointly owned by Newmont Mining (TSX:NMC) (51 percent) Beunaventura (44 percent) and International Finance (5 percent).
4. Pueblo Viejo
Production: 953,000 ounces
One of the newer large gold mines in the world, Pueblo Viejo is owned in a 60/40 joint venture between Barrick Gold and Goldcorp (TSX:G). The mine is located in the Dominican Republic.
The mine’s production dropped 13.99 percent in 2015 from 2014 where they produced 1.108 million ounces
Pueblo Viejo was commissioned in 2012 and completed its production ramp up in 2014. Barrick’s share of gold production for 2016 is estimated to be between 600,000-650,000 ounces, while Goldcorp’s forecast is between 400,000-440,000 ounces.
3. Cortez
Production: 999,000 ounces
Another large mine owned by Barrick and located in Nevada, Cortez just about ties with Goldstrike in terms of production. Cortez’s production of 999,000 ounces in 2015 is a 10.75 percent increase from its 2014 production of 902,000 ounces. In 2016, Cortez’s gold production is expected to fall in line between 980,000-1,500,000 ounces and expects its all-in sustaining costs to range between $520 and $550 per ounce. As of December 31, 2015, proven and probable mineral reserves were 11.1 million ounces of gold.
2. Goldstrike
Production: 1.05 million ounces
One of Barrick’s biggest gold mines, Goldstrike, is located within Nevada’s prolific Carlin trend. The property consists of the Betze-Post open-pit mine and the Meikle and Rodeo underground mines.
Goldstrike’s proven and probable mineral reserves as of December 31, 2015 were 8.5 million ounces of gold. Its production outlook for 2016 is expected to be somewhere between 975,000-1,075,00 ounces of gold at sustaining costs of $780-$850 per ounce.
1. Grasberg
Production: 1.23 million ounces
Grasberg, a copper-gold mine in Papua, Indonesia is the largest gold mine in the world. The mine is mostly owned by Freeport-McMoran (NYSE:FCX), with the government of Indonesia owning roughly 9 percent of the complex.
The open-pit mine at Grasberg has been in operation since 1990, and is expected to continue until 2017. After that, operations will transition to focus on underground orebodies beneath and nearby the Grasberg pit.
In August, it was reported that Indonesia renewed the export license allowing Freeport to ship 1.4 million metric tonnes of concrete from the Grabserg mine through to January 11, 2017.

MINING JOBS TV Episode 3: Unskillled & Entry Level Mining Jobs
Brought to you by www.miningresumes.com - Kick-start your mining career today and email us at [email protected] or call Mining Resumes on 1300 737 863
Welcome to Episode 3 of Mining Jobs TV. Hi my name is Matt and I will be speaking to you today about unskilled and entry level jobs in the Australian mining industry.
Mining Jobs TV is a FREE online TV channel presenting regular episodes where we will discuss mining jobs and tips that will help you to secure a job in the industry.
You may have probably heard the stories about a friend of a friend who is earning over $100,000 a year on a mine somewhere in Western Australia or Queensland and wondered how you could get a mining job too.
Entry level or unskilled jobs, like trade assistants or plant operators are hard to get now as every man and his dog are applying for them. The best way to get these jobs would be to move out to the little mining towns and live there and register with all the labour hire companies, there are hundreds of them.
Trades people like fitters, welders, boilermakers and electricians still have a fairly good chance of picking up work on mining sites. If you don't have a trade, doing a rigging or scaffolding course would give you a good chance at getting a job, the courses are only about 4 weeks long, but they are fairly expensive.
Other unskilled or basic jobs available include cleaners, laundry workers and kitchen hands which is not difficult if you have hospitality training and experience.
Talking to people who are currently working on mining sites can be a big help, especially if you have no previous experience or qualifications. It would be even better if you could get in contact with expats from your own country who are working on mining sites. They can let you know who to call and what you need to do.
If you are inexperienced and unqualified you need to be fit and ready for physical labour. The work will be very repetitive and routine based with long 12 hour days, so you really need to be mentally prepared, as well as physically.
Some mines will have a very high turnover of workers. This is because many people go to work on the mines not knowing what to expect. Because there can be such a high turnover, you may not start earning big money straight away, although your wages won't be small either. Once you've proved yourself to be a reliable worker, your wages should increase.
Most mining companies will run police checks, as well as drug and alcohol tests. Even though there are wet mess areas on-site where workers can unwind and drink alcohol, they do have to drink in moderation and be fit-for-work before their shift starts
Shutdowns are exactly what the name suggests. Every now and then mining sites need to shut down for upgrades, maintenance or repairs and they usually hire people temporarily to work during shut downs. A lot of the work is unskilled and doesn't last very long, so it's great for backpackers who want to keep on travelling and don't want to make a full-time commitment. It's also a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable on-site experience.
To do certain mining jobs you will need to get licences and training, or 'tickets' as they are more commonly known. There are lots of different types of tickets depending on what type of work you're going to do. Some tickets can be very expensive and mines in different states require different tickets, so you really need to do your research before you start spending money on courses.
Don't think that just because you're female that the mining companies and recruiters won't consider you. The mining industry in Australia is becoming increasingly gender neutral. It's not just cooking and cleaning jobs either on offer for women either; more and more women are working on Australian mining sites, and in some cases, companies even prefer women for certain jobs. For example, a popular job for women on mining sites is driving a dump truck because research has shown that women are easier on the multi-million dollar equipment yet still get the job done.
It's most important to ensure you have the resume professionally worded and designed to stand out from your competitors. We highly recommended Mining Resumes to prepare your resume as they are the industry leaders in resume preparation for clients seeking jobs in the mining and oil & gas industry. They can be contacted via phone on 1300 RESUME or have a look at their website miningresumes.com with package details and samples browse that demonstrate their quality and experience.

Australian mining matters because it's part of modern life. Gulkula Mining Company Pty Ltd - owned by the Gumatj - mines bauxite from the Dhupuma Plateau Bauxite Mine on the Gove Peninsula, 30km south of Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory.
The bauxite - used for aluminium production - is sold to Rio Tinto’s Gove operation where it is processed and shipped to customers.

Growing demand for batteries for electric cars and power storage is driving increased investment in lithium mining in Western Australia.
WA is currently supplying more than 40 per cent of the world's lithium and a new mine in the Pilbara is the latest in a string of investments in the industry.
The West Australian Government is now encouraging industry to build a battery factory in the state to capitalise on the boom.

Rio Tinto has undertaken Australia's largest integrated mining project over recent years with the expansion of its Pilbara iron ore operations to 290 Mt/a capacity. The project has included expansions to all parts of the integrated network, including mines, ports, rail and associated infrastructure completed in quarter three, 2013.

Every year, the Goldman Environmental Prize is awarded to grassroots environmental activists.
One of this year's six winners from around the world is Wendy Bowman in Australia, for her tireless fight against the development of a coal mine.
Bowman, who has a farm in Australia's Hunter Valley, resisted financial incentives and legal pressures in order to prevent her land from being used by a giant mining company.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reports from Hunter Valley.

http://RareInvestment.com - An Australian mining company says it has found a 12.76-carat pink diamond, the largest rough pink diamond found in the country. The rare diamond was found at Rio Tinto's Argyle diamond mine in Western Australia's East Kimberly region.Estimated to be worth millions, it has been named the Argyle Pink Jubilee, and is being cut and polished in Perth.It will be sold later this year after being shown around the world, including in New York and Hong Kong.The process of polishing and cutting, which began in Perth on Tuesday, is expected to take about 10 days. The diamond will then be graded by a team of international experts.More than 90% of the pink diamonds in the world come from the Argyle mine, a Rio Tinto statement said.The Argyle Pink Jubilee is a light pink diamond, the company said. It is similar in colour to The Williamson Pink - the diamond found in Tanzania that Queen Elizabeth II received as a wedding gift and which was subsequently set into a brooch for her coronation.A Rio Tinto spokesperson said that a diamond of this calibre was ''unprecedented''.''It has taken 26 years of Argyle production to unearth this stone and we may never see one like this again,'' said Argyle Pink Diamonds Manager Josephine Johnson.In 2010, a rare 24.78-carat "fancy intense pink" diamond was sold for a record-breaking $46 million (£29m), the highest price ever paid for a jewel, to a well-known British dealer at an auction in Geneva.That diamond had been in a private collection for 60 years.

From the worlds largest gold mine found on the top of a mountain to the largest diamond mine in the world here are the most massive mines in the world!

5.. Asbestos Mine, Canada
Also known as the Jeffrey Mine, it’s located in Asbestos, Quebec and it was in operation until 2012. It’s a whopping 2 kilometers wide and 370 meters deep! Check out this thing on google maps and you can tell how completely massive this thing is! It’s the by far the largest asbestos mine in the world. For a long period of time, people would use this mineral to put into their walls and keep their homes from catching on fire! But recently there’s been a link with asbestos and a disease called mesothelioma, which is a lung condition. This is a toxic substance that people should avoid, so obviously this large mine went out of business. The lake at the bottom might look like an inviting blue, but you can bet your bottom dollar, it’s highly toxic! The small town that grew with the thriving asbestos industry feels like they’ve kind of lost their identity once the mine was forced to close, but people do still live there.
4. Mcarthur River Uranium Mine
In case you were wondering which mine produces the most uranium in the world, that would be of course the Mcarthur River uranium mine in Saskatchewan Canada. This huge deposit was found in 1988 and finally a mining operation took place in 1997, when it began producing what’s known as Yellowcake. It’s not the kind of yellow cake you’d eat with your grandparents. This stuff has a horrific odor and basically what it is, is concentrated uranium powder which can then be used for powering nuclear reactors. We imagine this powdery substance is quite difficult to get ahold of. There aren’t a ton of photos of this place but, it does produce about 13 percent of the global uranium production across the globe.
3. Diavik Diamond Mine
In case you thought it was Africa who had all the massive diamond mines, think again! The Diavik Diamond mine, found in the the northwest territories of Canada is one of the largest producers of diamonds in the Northern hemisphere and this place is pretty crazy! They annually produce 7 million carats of diamonds each year and you better believe it’s not easy to get here. The Diavik mine is found north of the arctic circle and it’s definitely cold! This photo here shows the subarctic landscapes that surround the diamond mine. You thought getting to work in the morning was tough for you? Imagine trying to get to work here! Just recently in 2015, this diamond produced what was known as the Diavik Foxfire 187.7 which is one of the largest rough gem quality diamonds ever produced.
2. Siberian Diamond Mine
Also known as the Mirny Mine, The USSR began searching for ways to make to make themselves a more economical stable and independent union. In 1955 the Soviets discovered large diamond deposits at this site in the far away lands of Siberia and many people got to work very quickly in order to help bring wealth to the union. After about 20 years of operations, they finally decided that At one point this mine produced 10 million carats of diamonds a year and reaches a max depth of 524 meters or around 1700 feet making it the 2nd largest excavated hole in the world. The mine is so deep, airspace is closed over the hole due to helicopter crashes caused from the downward flow of air. The construction of this in the frigid conditions of Siberia must have been grueling and downright cruel. Sources state that the machinery used at this mine had to be covered at night or it would freeze Are the diamonds worth freezing to death?! It’s unoperational today but Some claim that there’s still a bunch of diamonds in this mine and the whole thing could be worth about 12 Billion dollars. It’s possible that controlling this diamond is mine is crucial to controlling the price of diamonds across the world.
Bingham Copper Mine
The bingham copper mine located near Salt Lake City Utah is home to the biggest pit in the world and it’s been in operation since 1903. It’s about 2.5 miles wide and if it were a stadium, it would be able to fit an estimated 9.5 million people. It keeps getting bigger and bigger too! Diligent workers can move about 250,000 tons of rock each day and it’s even become a tourist attraction in recent years before a massive landslide took place. Some claim that this was the biggest non volcanic landslide to take place in North American modern history. This photo we see here shows you the aftermath of this massive landslide and Bingham Copper mine and it makes you wonder how safe some of the conditions at these mines truly are. The landslides were so massive, that they actually triggered a few small earthquakes! Experts estimated that 165 tons of earth slide down from the top of the mine all the way to the bottom.

Top 10 Companies in Australia by Market Capitalisation in the year 2018. The data is based on July 2018.

The list is included with No. 12 and 11 to show case Telstra dropped from the Top 10 list this year.

Australia is blessed with rugged beauty and a wealth of natural resources - including coal, iron, natural gas and gold. Such minerals are powering Australia's economy to record highs. And as demand from China for more resources grows, new mines continue to open across the country. But critics say there is a dark side to this success story.
Mining regions attract transient workers keen to make a quick buck, creating social and environmental problems and a rising crime rate. Mines are also draining Australia's pool of skilled labour from other industries and driving up wages. 101 East asks: What is the cost of Australia's mining boom?
Here Australian 101 East fixer Sian Gard takes us behind the scenes of the 12-day film shoot with reporter-producer Chan Tau Chou and cameraman Lee Ali.
When you travel what is the worst thing that could happen? Some might say missing a flight, others might say you get crammed into the centre seat on a full flight. But when you are part of a film crew, one of the more difficult challenges is travelling with 181 kilogrammes of camera equipment.
When an international film crew from Al Jazeera English calls you and says they want to come to Australia and film a story about the mining industry in two weeks time, the first thing you say is "I would love to be a part of this incredible story". The second thing you do? Start working fast.
The scope and depth of the mining industry, its impact on the country and the state can be broken down into small digestible chunks as political, economic and social, but the bigger picture is a great deal more complicated. The Australian mining industry has seen exponential growth over the last 10 years with increasing exports to China.
Western Australia, considered the economic hub of the country, now holds the nation's purse strings and is host to some of the world's most influential mining and resource sector companies. Perth, considered the second-most isolated city in the world, has seen changes on many fronts that not only includes an increase in resource dollars but a higher cost of living, a politically strong liberal state government and increasing financial disparity between mining and resource sector employees and everyone else. So how does one get all these issues into one story? You make phone calls and lots of them.
One-hundred-and-eighty-one kilogrammes of camera equipment and an introductory dinner later, we are off filming in Perth and Karratha. We have 12 days to interview a range of people invested in the mining and resources sector in various ways. Finance experts, counsellors who see the downside of living a Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) lifestyle, business operators who say their home towns are dying due to the mining industry and police who are left to clean up the alcohol and drug fuelled mess from workers blowing off steam.
The biggest challenge of a shoot on this scale? Distance, time and getting people to talk on camera. Logistically, organising a film shoot for a crew that is flying from Malaysia to Perth in western Australia and then Karratha in the north-west of western Australia, with budgets and deadlines is exciting, fun and a challenge. Accommodation, hire cars, flights, places to eat, filming permissions and scheduling interviews, your world becomes one mission and one only. Get what the film crew needs so that the story is done.
Karratha in the north of the state is a 22-hour drive by car or a two-hour flight on one of two commercial carriers that fly every hour to the isolated desert town. After checking in with 181 kilogrammes of camera equipment or 13 cases of luggage and arriving in Karratha, we unpack and our long days begin.
The strain of putting together a half-hour documentary in a foreign country and dealing with tight deadlines can put a great deal of pressure on any crew. People generally get tired, they snap and sometimes when you are confined to a small space for hours on end (i.e. a car that is loaded to the roof with camera equipment) the last thing you want to do is see the people you are working with. But Chan Tau Chou and Lee Ali approached the long stressful days with humour, grace, professionalism and the ability to sleep in the most unusual locations (on top of windy rocky outcrops).
Filming in the north-west was a whirlwind of driving long distances, climbing rocky terrain, rising at 4am and falling into bed at midnight with back-to-back interviews in between.
I am excited to see the final product of Australia's boomtown curse. I think it is a story that people need to hear about.

Adani are an Indian mining company that want to build Australia's biggest coal port on the Great Barrier Reef coastline.
The port expansion will require massive dredging and dumping in the World Heritage Area, and poses a grave risk to an already vulnerable ecosystem.
When Adani built a coal port and power plant in Mundra, India, it destroyed the environment that had sustained local fishing and farming businesses for generations. Those villagers are now bravely speaking out against Adani, and they send a warning to Australia - don't trust Adani.

MINING JOBS TV Episode 1: Working in the mining industry
Brought to you by www.miningresumes.com - Kick-start your mining career today and email us at [email protected] or call Mining Resumes on 1300 737 863
Welcome to the first episode Mining Jobs TV. My name is Matt and today I will be talking about 'working in the Australian mining industry.'
Mining Jobs TV is a FREE online TV channel presenting regular episodes where we will discuss mining jobs and tips that will help you to secure a job in the industry.
Mining in Australia is a significant primary industry and major contributor to the Australian economy with many different ores and minerals are mined throughout the country.
The good news is that the Australian mining industry employees people across a broad range of areas from unskilled labourers to mining engineers. There are also opportunities in administrative, human resources and management positions together with numerous trade related opportunities such as Trades Assistant, Boilermakers, Carpenters, Welders, Electricians and Plumbers.
As you are probably aware mining jobs are achievable yet very competitive. It is not unusual for HR Managers to receive 500 or 1000 plus resumes for an advertised vacancy ... so it's most important to ensure you have the resume professionally worded and designed to stand out from your competitors.
A talented Resume Writer will be skilled in selling your skills and wording the document in a way that includes all important key words. This will give you the best chance of getting one of these jobs and they will also see you are serious about a career in mining due to the efforts you have made in presenting a polished document that clearly states what you have to offer.
We highly recommended Mining Resumes to prepare your resume as they are the industry leaders in resume preparation for clients seeking jobs in the mining and oil & gas industry. They can be contacted on 1300 RESUME or have a look at their website miningresumes.com with package details and samples you look at.
Many Australians want to know what type of entry level jobs are available in the mining industry that don't require a trade qualification. Both men and women are sought after by mining companies offering jobs such as Cleaner, Utilities, Trades Assistant, Service Crew, Catering, Kitchen Hand, Utilities and Laundry Work. Some of these jobs will require previous experience in areas such as cleaning, catering and hospitality but don't necessarily require previous experience working on mine sites.
The main skills and attributes the mining companies are looking for include:
- An understanding and commitment to workplace safety
- Willingness to travel or work away from home for extended periods
- Ability to complete additional courses or training
- Strong work ethic and willingness to work 12 hour shifts
- Flexible and adaptable approach to work
- Capacity to work unsupervised and as part of a team
- Punctual, reliable
- High level of physical health and fitness
- Willingness to undertake drug and alcohol testing as mine sites are focused on a high level of safety and you cannot be under the influence of these substances when working on site
You may be wondering, how do I find out about these jobs? Mining jobs are all advertised on the careers pages of the major mining companies such as BHP, Rio Tinto and the Compass Group. You can find the companies through Google Search or email us and we will happily provide an up to date list for you.
Mining jobs are also advertised on sites such as seek.com.au which is the main job search site in Australia. You can find the jobs by searching under the mining industry section and by typing key words such Dump Truck which will display all the current jobs available relating to dump truck driving.
I hope that you have found this episode helpful and I look forward to talking to you again in Episode 2 where I will provide an insight into mining jobs available and where to find them.

The Taurima family are seeking answers to the death of their son and father from a mining company in Australia. Jordan Taurima (29) had only been working for a few months in Mt Isa when he was tragically killed in a freak mining accident. Today he was laid to rest in Cambridge. Potaka Maipi spoke to his family.

After working 9 months in different mining sites around Western Australia, I decided to make this little video after realizing that unless you've been there, it's really hard to imagine what is it to live on a mine site village. It's usually way better that what people imagine...

FiNMAX mobile apps are available for both iOS and Android devices, which ensures that traders can access their accounts through a smartphone or a tablet. FiNMAX offers specific FiNMAX apps for iPhone, iPad, and other smartphones and tablets. Once again, traders can access almost the entire range of platform features that are available on the desktop platform, while advanced charting options from TradingView can be easily accessed through their responsive template.
FiNMAX Trading Accounts.
Even though the minimum investment required for a Platinum VIP account is high, the trading features can more than justify the initial investment barrier. The only concern is that traders may not feel comfortable depositing large amounts of money at FiNMAX without any proper regulatory protection. Regardless, the company has managed to steer clear of any large controversies, which does make it a bit more dependable than brokers that are located in tax havens.
FiNMAX Demo Trading Account.

FiNMAX offers a limited period demo that is valid only for a week, which is not a whole lot of time to learn the concept in detail. Although FiNMAX has limited its demo account to users, it is far better than avoiding a demo offering altogether. Seasoned traders can use the demo trading account to gauge the efficiency of the platform, while amateur traders can also use the demo period to familiarise themselves with the binary options market and put on a few trades to gain market exposure. Nevertheless, we would have appreciated if the company had provided a bit more time with its free demo account option.
FiNMAX Support.
FiNMAX clients can make use of the vast resources for trading, which includes advanced trading charts, personal account manager, and market analytics. Larger account holders have the convenience of trading with signals or use social trading platforms to copy trades from successful traders. The broker also provides market analysis, trading news, webinars, strategy, and VIP trader education. FiNMAX has one of the best trader-oriented resources, which can provide a highly beneficial platform for binary options traders.
FiNMAX Verdict.
CONs.
There is a drastic amount of confusion surrounding regulatory status. Reduced number of binary options assets.
Yes, traders can download dedicated FiNMAX apps for iOS and Android devices.
FiNMAX offers support through live chat, phone numbers, emails, and Skype address. The customer service channel is only available for 14 hours a day and 5 days a week.
